Hangin' Here just to say "HI"!

All little boys I've been around enjoy acting like little monkeys.  My brother is now 70 and I can remember as if it was just yesterday that he was acting like a monkey.  When I remind him of the 'good ole days', he'll give me a monkey face and sound.  He still makes me laugh.

Anyhow, Cut It Up Challenge #183 with the theme wood(s) brought back old memories which inspired me to build this card, but it will go to my grandson....not my brother.LOL  (However, I have sent him plenty of monkey cards..haha)  Now you know my secret, unless it is a seasonal card, past memories inspire my cards 90% of the time.

Every bit of this card was made using die cuts.  I bought the monkey set from Aliexpress, but when I went to get a link for my blog, the page was gone.

Berry Berry Special : 2nd post today

My first challenge since last November.  Keeping it CAS.  Height of strawberry season here.  Cut It Up Challenge #96 is to use a die cut and have a strawberry on card.  I pretty much cased this from a Lawn Fawn Pinterest post.  I used Lawn Fawn Summertime Charms stamp and die set...a great set that is very versatile.
